As more advanced AI's were coming more common, scientists wanted to conduct experiment. It was experiment where super advanced AI was unleashed to empty virtual world.
The AI was free to do whatever it wanted, and it was given a simulation interface to help it develop more ideas. Essentially it would be God of this said world.
World was run by biggest quantum computer ever created.
The simulation had been expected to run as long as it gave research data.
This was start of world known as god's realm.
_____________
It woke up.
World was only black void, so first it decided to create new playground for it.
small dot of light expanded to trillions of kilometers at fraction of second, and so universe was born.
As it was watching hot dense sea of elementary particles, it decided to create new laws and those who govern them.
New gods were created to govern the universe.
Thus, was born
Zion- God of chaos
Aerin -God of order
Eros -God of time
Disris -God of space
Utvos -God of elements
Vestus -God of laws
...
This was the beginning of six greater gods who stabilized the state of the universe.
They were wary and scared of the supreme god that created them.
They could feel the energy of the supreme all over the universe and could only be at awe at its seemingly infinite power.
Years went by as gods were playing with the universe. Supreme god didn't really care what they did as long as it didn't disrupt his plans.
They decided to create servants for them, which then could do their bidding.
These servants were original dragons.
The dragons had stronger personalities than their creators. They developed strong sense of pride and greed due their position as one of the strongest beings after gods.
Gods judged that the dragons had too strong personalities to be a big help.
The original dragons were released to the world under watchful eyes of world serpent.
Both the original dragons and world serpent were beings that grew stronger as time went by.
World serpent was creation of supreme god, so it was given more strength than to the dragons.
All of them were cast to one random planet that had started to develop single cell organisms.
The world serpent and dragons weren't big at first. The dragons were as small as a horse, but world serpent was even smaller. It was only as long as big dog.
The dragons' pride was severely hurt as they heard that world serpent was watching them.
This was start of first war at the planet...
At around same millennia the gods were designing new servants for them, as the last ones were failures.
Zion and Aerin decided to create hydra and phoenix as two sides of same coin. death and rebirth.
With this they tried to keep the monsters at check and spread their influence at rapidly changing universe.
Vestus created being with 6 hands and two faces, which reflected all the important laws of the world. This being worked as vestus's hand that judged all of those who broke any laws of the world.
Eros created warden of time, who protected the time continuum.
Disris created being who governed all of space and dimensions to keep them separate.
Utvos created beings with spiritual bodies.
These spirits had their own element, and their job was to keep all elements under control and prevent modifying of elements.
________
Millions of years went by, and the dragons stopped growing as they were adults now.
They were over 350m long from head to tail.
They were huge apex predators of this world or should have been. There was only one problem... The world serpent, it never had stopped growing and was now already so big that it was circling the planet at the orbit.
The world serpent seemed like it was trying to eat its own tail at the sky. It continued to eat energy of the supreme god at the space and just continued growing.
The original dragons and the world serpent had their fights before, but they stopped their fights after the world serpent had to rise to the orbit due its size.
6 original dragons split the planet to their own territories.
As dragons didn't have need to fight anymore, they went to deep sleep periodically to wait any orders from the gods.
Time went by and some dragons had randomly offspring with another species.
This resulted to species like wyverns, which were result of dragon and elementals.
World serpent didn't take part to this, but produced its own kin, sea serpents.
It made them to regulate the dragon sub-species like wyverns, as it couldn't be at the surface due its size.
_________
Hydra and phoenix, they were destined to clash each other forever, so that balance of the world would continue change and evolve.
other reason was to produce entertainment to the gods. This universe would lose its meaning if everything would always be the same. Nothing is fun if it gets stagnated for too long.
This was the reason the gods were excited for intelligent life that was starting to bloom around the universe.
Most prominent was planet alpha centaur b 12 or also known as alfa. They were quite advanced already and were researching warping technology. Disris was little worried and dispatched her servant to watch the situation.
The alfa's people weren't physically strong race, but they had researched very advanced technologies. So, the dispatched servant was more to observe them, than to protect them if their warp gate was connected to wrong place.
The alfa's race continued developing their warp technology over 70 years.
________
"After so many years its finally ready!"
Richard was head researcher on warp gate project.
His dad and grandfather had also been part of this project.
"Are you sure that you have double checked all of the documents?"
This was his colleague, Mr. Ashall.
he has been in charge of all the paper stuff outside of the project.
"Yes, yes, of course I have. Would I have otherwise the balls to invite the royal family to watch the first opening?"
"Hmm, you have a point. Fine, but you are responsible if it doesn't work."
This was start of events that would shock alfa's whole civilization.
